An acid is a chemical substance that has a sour taste and is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value less than 7. It turns blue litmus paper (pH indicator) red. Citric acid is a common acid found in lemon.

Alkali and base are the same thing. An Alkali is a chemical substance that has a soapy feeling and a bitter taste. It is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value greater than 7. It turns red litmus paper blue. Alkalis are commonly found in shampoos. The burning in eyes when such products get into eyes is caused by alkalis. Sodium hydroxide is a common alkali.

An 8 kilogram bowling ball is Rolling in a straight line. If it’s momentum is 16 kg m/s how fast is it traveling?
BartSMP [9]
This is a simple problem where you would use the simplified formula

P = m • v

16 kgm/s = 8 kg • v

V = 2 m/s.

The ball is travelling at 2 m/s.

How is it possible to predict the type of bond that is likely to be found in a substance? what types of atoms generally form ion
Alenkasestr [34]
Using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic/ covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character. The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have. 
Ionic bonding is formed through electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion. Foe example, Sodium fluoride has ionic bonding because it is composed by sodium and Fluorine (a non metal). On the other hand, covalent bonding is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example; methane has covalent bonding; carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1; when they bond they have a total of 8 electrons and satisfies the octet rule.

For the reaction 2Fe + O2 > 2FeO, how many grams of iron oxide are produced from 5.00 moles of iron?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

359 grams FeO

Explanation:

To find how many grams FeO are produced, you need to use the moles of Fe, convert it to moles of FeO (using the mole-to-mole ratio from the equation), then convert the moles of FeO to grams (using the molar mass from the periodic table).

2 Fe + O₂ --> 2 FeO

Molar Mass (FeO) = 55.845 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass (FeO) = 71.845 g/mol

5.00 moles Fe           2 moles FeO            71.845 grams
----------------------   x  ------------------------  x  ----------------------  = 359 grams FeO
                                   2 moles Fe               1 mole FeO
